So basically, the aim here is to create something simple for computing novices to work with. Like stupidly simple, like as few buttons on the screen at one time. Imagine what age 60+ users want. I have seen a program called Eldy, this seems to do the same thing, but I want this in an os that can be installed on anything easily, on a really cheep and low powered computer.
It needs word processing, email, chat (skype?), internet, and a calander. It also would need some kind of possibility for expansion (if I like previous work I'll ask you to do it again) I would be happy to come up with a few images to show the kind of design I'm looking for, but I first want to know what the rough cost of a project like this would be, and how good a job can be done. I know some C++ myself, but not enough to get to involved in this. I would rather someone who knew about Lunix, or operating systems, give it a go!
Let me know how easy you think it would be and a timescale if possible too!
Thanks!
